RISE STRONG: THE ESSENTIAL SKILLS AND HABITS OF HIGHLY RESILIENT PEOPLE

How Resilient People Transform Adversity into Growth
Every life includes moments that break us open—unexpected losses, crushing setbacks, devastating failures. These moments arrive unannounced, testing our limits and challenging our assumptions about who we are and what we can endure.
But what separates those who merely survive these moments from those who use them as catalysts for profound transformation?
In Rise Strong, resilience expert and organizational psychologist Quinn Price draws from dozens of interviews with people who didn’t just bounce back from adversity—they bounced forward. Through their extraordinary stories and cutting-edge research, she reveals the critical decisions and daily practices that transform life’s most challenging moments into unexpected gateways for growth.
This isn’t a book about positive thinking or pretending pain doesn’t exist. It’s a deeply practical guide to navigating life’s darkest passages with courage and wisdom. You’ll discover:
